La Guadalupana Pork and Chicken Tamales Recalled for Undeclared Egg Allergen
La Guadalupana is recalling pork and chicken tamales because they contain egg whites, a known allergen, that are not listed on the label.
The agency’s classification
USDA FSIS: Class I
Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 5/5 (Critical).
Highest-severity recall. The hazard can cause serious injury or death. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The source metadata explicitly classifies the recall as 'High - Class I' and 'Class I'. According to the rubric, if the agency's own classification is FDA Class I or USDA Class I, the score is never below 4, and Class I generally corresponds to a Critical (5) rating in this context due to the high risk of serious adverse health consequences from undeclared allergens.
